He emphasized that the new bylaw allows the storage and distribution of available capacities effectively on the electrical networks to the largest number of beneficiaries, reflecting justice in the cost of electricity.
Kharabsheh said that the new bylaw does not apply to owners of renewable energy systems or those with previous official approvals to install the systems, and that it specifies the bases for exempting renewable energy source systems, their devices and equipment, and rationalizing energy consumption and production inputs.
He added that the bylaw maintains the stability of the electrical system, increases its operational efficiency, and allows the establishment and ownership of electrical energy storage systems, in addition to reducing the fee for grid use services to zero, or JD1 instead of JD2 for the domestic sector according to the mechanism in place.
According to the minister, the bylaw offers several mechanisms to link these systems with the electrical system, while giving more flexibilit
y to most sectors to choose the appropriate mechanism according to the nature and pattern of consumption, some of which are available to all sectors, and some are available to specific sectors.
He explained that the consumer can, through the mechanism related to the net value within the geographical location, export, withdraw from the grid, and use the electric grid, and the tariff is determined by the beneficiary category issued by the Energy and Minerals Regulatory Commission (EMRC).
The zero-export mechanism enables the beneficiary to consume all his production from the renewable energy system, while the credit-all and import-all mechanisms allow the system’s production to be exported to the electric grid and the obligation to consume electricity from the electric grid, Kharabsheh noted.
